It Iiad just struck twelve by Si. Paul's —a fact wliich tlie clock of irlia.t cluirch insisted on with sluggish emphas's— when tlte Colelicstcr co:-.cIi on its wtiy to Lad-lane, dashed througli the east¬ ward concourse of drays, cabs, vans, and carts, and drew up suddenly at Lhe coi¬ ner of .St. Margaret lane wliich, as every citizen of London knows, is close to the old George tiie Second's churcli of St. Srargaret Hoses.
Tlto coachman drow u^i his fouf btiys smartly antl wiih an air rejoiced to liave got Ihi'ougli his journey and . iie .guard, to keep up the .spiril of liie tiling, gave a jovial ilom-ish on his liorii, just io let jieople know tlie Colchester cof.cli was no coinraon coach, but a teal liighllyer, and no iwo words about it.
The guard .got dowu and turaljlcd a plain corded box out of the boot, and then a bundle tied up in a red .¦Uld yellow handkerchief, and then, loolting up at a pretty modest "resh- looking couutry girl, who sitt content¬ edly next the coachman, holding a great tuft of ^lay blos.som, called out:
" Now then, Susan, my love, hero you are! Take care liow you get down'. I'll catch .you. Don't hurry, my girl, Ijut look alive!"
"Oilcar! gmud, am I there, ami is this Margaroilaue?" .said llie prepossess¬ ing young woman, wishing the coacli- maii good-iiy, and geiiing nimbly and modestly down; aided by the robust arms of the gallant guaid.
"Xo. IG it Is, m.y dear. Good-bye Su- .sau," cried ilio coachman; "I'll lell mother to-morrov.' yoii got all safe. — Jom'li mn v.-ith tiic Itox. Look alive, Jem!—Peacock wants iier oals. You'll iind us :it the Swan-with-Two-Xecks. AVliist my beati^Je! Hey there, Pea¬ cock, gently!" Crick, crack.
Poor ,Su.san! .Slie gave a tearful .stare at the receding coach, as if it were tlie last link that bound her to Colchester, and then turned and follov.'cd the guartl u]) llic diiig.y and narrow lane, whei'e her new master resid.ed.

" Put a .good hem t on it, Susan, gal," said tbe guard, as he sliook Iiands with his charge. " It always seems .strange a bjt at llrst in a new place! but Jtr.

'WOEK POE 'WOMElf.
There is do evading the iioint-bltmk truth, that women imrst work for a liv¬ ing in these prosaic days. Coals and kindlings, antl bread and butter and toa, and cotton tmd calico must somehow be provided, and so must many other little requisites esscutitil to the tlue keeping together of soul and body. Now, how is it to bo dono?
"AVliat is the use?" oh, how often, sick at heart and discouraged, and all but despairing, the poor struggler against life's time ami tide pauses to ask herself this question. This rising in tho morning to a day of tlishcartening toil this going to a nightly pillow of uiirest- ful dreams; this perpetual strife and pain that peoplo cidl life—is it worth the ellbrt? Docs it pay, nicnttiU.Y or corpo¬ really, to live as too many women livo?
A bolil and daring question to ask; but we can very easil.y comprehend the frame of mind that suggests such a query. Au existence that drags on from day to day, with not one forward step, is enough to crush the elasticity out of c:loutcIiouc itself. Insteatlof wondering at tho list of suiciilcs that arc becoming apptdlingl.y frequent, one is templed rather to marvel that moro women do not take this escape-valve from a laby¬ rinth of dail.y increasing trials and trou¬ bles. And it is high time we looked the fact bold!/ in tho face.
It is not that women arc afraid of work in the abstract. Afraid! In that respect the.y are as courageous as Cheva¬ lier Bayard himself. Look at any Ainerican housewife's perpetual tread¬ mill of washtu'c, kitchen fire and work- bti.sket! Look at the iimouut of Itibor pel-formed by the wives and daughtera of our inltuid farmers! They wili work —.lye, and work willingly, until they aro ready to drop from sheer exhaus¬ tion ! Tlicy have no more Idea of spar¬ ing thomsolvcs than if they were nia¬ cliines of iron and steel. And the con¬ sequence too often is that our women at thirty are old, and faded, and broken down.
No, it is not work, properly balanced and duly adjusted that wears peoiile out. If a woman can only feel that she is do¬ ing something-, that she is progressing, ho it evor so slowl.y, tho sting or bitter¬ ness vanishes fi'oni the most servile labor. "Somothiiigticconiplished, some¬ thing done"—that is what every native yearus for. If at the ond of a weary, struggling year a womtm finds that she has made no atli'.ince, socially or pecu¬ niarily—that she is only three hundred aud sixty-five days farther toward the dreary twilight of existence, docs aiiy- boily bliinie her for cryuig out, in the language of tho Hebrew Bebekah, " What good shall my life do me?"
Now we wish it dtstinctly understood that we arc not talking to people who walk on velvet carpets, and wear cash¬ mere, and whoseidcaof " woik"means wo.sted and w-ax flow-ers. We are not addicssing those who are provided with the whorev/ithal both to cat and to drink, and work simply because tho in¬ dustrial instinct is strong within them. We are talking to those who must either work or starve. Unfortunately, tliere are no asylums in this countiy for for¬ lorn widows, and solit.iry old maids, ami ivomen whose husbands are -svorso than dead. Something they must do, or perish—and what shall it be ? Our advice is this:
Leave drossmalvjng, and sewing, and copying, and embroidery to those who have not courage to diverge fi-om tlie higli road of heavy work and Ught wages. There are always enough timid souls to seize on the scanty crumbs of this sort. Competition may he the life of tratle, but it is the death of woman¬ kind. Ifyou must wo:rk, work toLome puri)0.se. Find something that will pay —-omething that will not grind the vi¬ tality out of you and leave you at the year's end just precisely -ivhore you were before. Don't take it for granted that all cheerfulness and sunshine must die out ot life siniply because it becomes ncceisary for you to make an efifort to live. You may as well constat your health and comfort as to sacriflce them. " If I were a man, I would be a farm¬ er," says the overtasked creature with an eager, instinctive yearning for green hills and fresh ¦winds, and air that is
antl then with spade Or hoe, duo pio- teotionwlth straw in tho'dead of win¬ ter—for this ¦was among the sterile hills of bleak New Engl.intl—and the third year there iv.is such a snowy sjiriiikling of blossoms, .such a scarlet wetdth of Iti- eious fruit tis your olil-fa.shionod farmer never even dreamed of! Tho family feasted oil sti'i\wberries morning, noon, and night; they suiipliedlcssxirovideut neighbors •\vith generous bounty; they preserved, and canned, and jellied, and still the sl;rawberrios kopt ripening and riiiening. So ono d.iy, merely its a methotl of getting rid of the overplus, a huge biUiket w.is sent to the nearest city under the seat of the little family vehi¬ cle, and found a ready market. That summer the strawberry-bed contributed flfty.dollars to tiie domestic exchequer. How long would it tako to earn lift.y tlollars by sitting in a close garret to m.ike shirts atten cents.1 piece? Give us the sunshine, and the winds sweep¬ ing ovcr the hills, and heaven's free a'r to ftU our lungs!
Now iio-.'e woman has done this, v>-lr may not another? If fifty dollars can bo realized, what is to prevant a jierson fiomniakingfivohuudiod? Natureim- lioscs no limits to her glorious possibili¬ ties, and all she asks from her votaries is a little courage, a litile faith, and ti little perseve^rance! She never stops to question tho sex of lier dopcndenls, nor puts them on half wages because tlic.y arc less ablo toflght the v.-6rld than mon! Nature is behind the tir-ics, you sec! but then her okl-ftishioncd wa.ys ai^e ver.y comforting to tho-,c who need :i gleam of comfort most!
Not very far from the locality where these sti'.iwboriies grew ami flourished we saw an orchartl of several htintlred apple-trees, bettring t'no most magnilv ceiit and valutible varieties. Bul it ilidn't "grov/" so; cver.y branch had been grafted, and grafted, too, by a womaii's hands! iStrtinge to sa.y, the scions grew just as vigorously as ifa man had been pt'.id four dollars a day for ]iut- ting them in! And as lo.ig a.s people know the difference between a golden pippin and a knotty little fail t'.pple, this sort of fruit leill comuu'.iul ;i premium' in the niiirket. It isn't coiisidcred at all unwoiiiaiJy lo titivcl from tloor to door selling fruit by the pint measui^c; v.'Iiy should it be an ont-of-lhc-way pro¬ ceeding to tiCnd lifty or :i liundred ijar- rels of apples by sictmiboat or railrord to a commission liou:;e in New Y'nrk? There m.iy be a diflercnccaiid a distinc¬ tion, but to our female optics the Litter appears to bo very much the most sensi¬ ble nictho-l of opertttion! At all events, we think we should pi'cfcr wliolesale to retail, if ever-,vc went into busine£,s.
Of course all this involves work, but W.IS not woi'.i the inimary clement with which we sLiried on our argument'?— And as any snch eiiterpris.c as tbis grows and develops ye:u' b.y year, as it most certainly will, tlio woman who has had counige to originate it will not be lack¬ ing in judgment and discretion to con¬ tinue. Ami ifit happens thtitshe finds it desirable to employ the muscular sircngth and force of men iu her behalf, some hartl-htiiided and hard-headed old farmer who raises the stereotyped crops of hay a.nd com year after .veav, and grovi's poorer with each revolving c.ycle, may even p.i.y her that tribute that was awarded to Hannah Adams, the sehol- lar and meiaiihysici.m, 'jy lho Boston carpenter, when he surveyctl the plan of a house designed by hor accomplished lingci's: "Well, I declare! she knows c'-eii-c,»iost as much as a man!"
Now we do not see why these deptiii- meiits of liibor are not more profitable and far more pleasant than teaching, sewing, or giving music lessons. As far as health goes, tbey arc infinitely to be preferred. Think over them, ye toiling and moiling women in our g;e:it, over¬ crowded cities, and render in your con¬ scientious verdicts!
But our subject is b,y no means ex¬ hausted. The p.irticular branch thai we have been considering relates .neic- l,y to those who are imiidled hythe ii^on spurof necessity to an immediate ac¬ tion. There ai'c others, now beginning the woi'Id, with plenty of time for con¬ sideration and election. To these a far more comprehensive field lies open.— rhre.iolorjical Journal.
